I would definitely post pics of your boat, maybe a side shot, and a interior shot from above. Is the etec a HO or regular 225? what options are on it? Im a Evinrude Freak, the etec is a great motor, just not as popular on the bass cats. Theirs a guy on here with a 250 HO powered Bay Cat here, he loves it and that motor is terrific on Big deep Vs. If you need any tips let me know, but you gotta post a pic or alot of folks just skim past. Brannon 920-295-2069 anytimeYour Signature …
